Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration

Bring your Vue 2 app forward with a plan.

We assess what your application depends on, protect the workflows people use, and move to Vue 3 in reviewable steps. The result should be a product your team can keep improving.

01
Assess

Find blockers before they become surprises.

02
Prove

Check a representative workflow.

03
Migrate

Keep behavior and ownership in view.

A measured upgrade for an application already in use.

The situation

The app still works. The foundation needs a decision.

Vue 2 reached end of life on December 31, 2023. That alone does not tell you to rewrite tomorrow. It does mean support, dependencies, and the next release deserve a deliberate plan. Read Vue's end-of-life notice

01 /

Support has ended

Vue 2 no longer receives fixes from the Vue team. Your support route should be an explicit choice.

02 /

Dependencies hold you back

Router, component libraries, and build tooling can turn a version bump into a broader upgrade.

03 /

Patterns accumulate

Older APIs and scattered conventions make routine changes harder to review and maintain.

04 /

Release risk grows

Without a clear behavior baseline, the team cannot easily tell what the upgrade might change.

The decision

Upgrade the framework. Align the code where it helps.

A Vue 3 migration addresses changed APIs and compatibility. Pattern alignment is a separate, deliberate refactor: clearer state ownership, less duplicated logic, and conventions the next developer can follow.

We preserve a working Options API style where it fits. A Vue version upgrade does not require removing TypeScript or rebuilding the application from scratch.

What we assess first

Two kinds of work

Know what the upgrade requires and what the cleanup earns.

We separate required migration changes from optional simplification, so you can review the cost and purpose of each.

01 / Required upgrade

Make the existing product work on Vue 3.

Review changed component APIs, routing, libraries, and build constraints. Keep critical behavior visible through tests and acceptance checks.

Decision / viable migration route
02 / Pattern alignment

Leave the code easier to change.

Where the evidence supports it, remove duplicated rules and unclear state flows. Explain these refactors separately from the framework upgrade.

Decision / useful cleanup scope

The first paid step

A readiness assessment you can act on.

After the free call, we scope an assessment around your actual codebase. It should leave you with a route, the important risks, and a useful first delivery to approve.

Talk through your app
01

Inventory

Vue version, routes, state, UI libraries, build setup, browser support, and tests

02

Risk map

Compatibility blockers, critical flows, missing coverage, and release constraints

03

Recommendation

A direct upgrade, staged route, or supported period on Vue 2 when that is the sounder choice

04

Pilot and estimate

A representative slice, acceptance checks, and a planning range with assumptions

Our approach

A route from the current app to the next version.

The size of the work depends on your dependencies and release constraints. We decide the route with you before scaling the migration.

01

Discuss the trigger

Use a free 30-minute call to understand the product, the reason to upgrade, and what a useful next step would be.

Output / fit decision
02

Assess the codebase

Inspect dependencies, Vue 2 patterns, critical workflows, and tests. Recommend a path and scope the first slice.

Output / readiness plan
03

Prove a slice

Upgrade a representative workflow and compare its behavior before committing to the full job.

Output / pilot evidence
04

Deliver and hand over

Complete the approved scope, check critical flows, and document the conventions and remaining decisions.

Common questions

Before we start.

Does Vue 2 end of life mean we must migrate immediately?

No single date decides your product's risk. Vue 2 no longer receives fixes from the Vue team, but extended support is an option. We assess your requirements, dependencies, and timetable before recommending a route.

Do we need to rewrite everything with Composition API?

No. Vue 3 supports the Options API. We can preserve that structure when it suits your team and the application. We change component patterns when the upgrade requires it or when a specific refactor earns its cost.

Will you replace Vuex, our UI library, and our build tooling?

We inventory them first. Some packages need a compatible version or replacement; other changes can be a separate decision. The assessment makes these dependencies visible before we price the work.

What if our app needs older browsers or server-side rendering?

Browser support and rendering architecture affect the upgrade route. IE11 requirements, Nuxt, and custom server-side rendering need a separate assessment and estimate; we would not treat them as a standard SPA upgrade.

Can we keep TypeScript?

Yes. Framework migration and TypeScript-to-JavaScript simplification are separate services. We do not remove types as a hidden part of a Vue upgrade.

How do you estimate cost and release risk?

The free call checks fit. A scoped assessment identifies blockers and critical behavior, then gives a planning range and pilot criteria. Release and rollback plans depend on your actual deployment setup.

Are you looking to move from React instead?

That is a different service. Explore our React-to-Vue migration approach .
